HTML in build description

Jenkins version: 1.557 Plugin version: 1.11.2

Good to know I'm not the only one seeing this.

As a workaround meanwhile I use Description Setter Plugin to get rid of this. But it changes description only for builds.

Is there some setting that disables HTML in descriptions? On the test versions I use the HTML is rendered as expected.

I guess they just disabled it in new version: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-22028

I'm also seeing this, for what it's worth.

I'm not sure if there is a way for me to check if HTML rendering is enabled or not; I could add yet another option, but I dislike that approach.

This might be related to the "message formatter" setting which was in the "Global Security" before the Jenkins 1.564 build.

+1 Still happening on jenkins v.1.582

I fixed this on our CI by setting the markup formatter to 'safe html' in the global security settings

Thanks @Dinoshauer! that setting solved it for me

Thanks @Dinoshauer! I only did not have the "Safe HTML" option until I installed the OWASP Markup Formatter Plugin

:+1: for @Dinoshauer solution.

Unfortunately @Dinoshauer 's solution cannot be used on cloud bees

Thanks! the Safe HTML option fixed it for me on the latest 1.34.4 version.
